Working EqEmu download anywhere?
 

I'm new to this, but I have spent a good deal of time searching for an EqEmu download. It seems that every link that I can find for it either does not have the download, or the page/file no longer exists.

Does anyone know of a place I can download it from?

Try this: http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/downloads/list

I was there before but haven't seen the file. I assumed it was stripped off the list similarly to all the other code.google.com links for EqEmu. Do you know which download it is?

this link is there and working just fine

Thank you so much :-D , wish I had known it was named that earlier

What is a good version of ActivePerl to use with EqEmu? I have tried a few different releases for Perl but seem to keep getting some sort of error with Perl58.dll when I attempt to launch World.exe.

These are the versions I tried separately to try to get it to work with no luck.

5.6.1.635
5.8.1.807
5.8.8.820
5.8.9.826
5.10.1.1006

With an error saying

"The procedure entry point Perl_newXS_flag could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll"

I had some luck with version 5.8.8.822 which has Perl_newXS_flag in the link library for perl58.dll, but I am now getting the error:

"The procedure entry point Perl_hv_common_key_len could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll"

So is there something I can do to fix this, or is there a better version to use with EqEmu?

Read the sticky at the top of the page regarding perl.

Thanks, that fixed that problem. Embarrassing to know that I somehow didn't see that sticky. Especially when there are only two stickies on this forum section to begin with :oops:

It doesn't give me the error anymore, but now it gives me

[Debug] Starting log: logs/eqemu_debug_2276.log
[Debug] [Launcher_INIT] Loading server configuration..
[Debug] [NET_WORLD] WorldConnection connect: Connecting to the server 127.0.0.1:9000 failed: TCPConnection::Connect(): connect() failed. Error: 10061
[Debug] [LAUNCHER_ERROR] worldserver.Connect() FAILED! Will retry.
[Debug] [LAUNCHER_INIT] Starting main loop...

I have gone through every thread relating to this problem and have attempted many solutions such as opening ports 9000, 9080, 7000-7100, 10234 and 5999 as UDP, with no success.

I tried to boot up World.exe in the Command Prompt to try and diagnose the problem more specifically and got:

Failed to open log file: logs/eqemu_debug_world_4848.log
[Debug] [WORLD_INIT] Loading server configuration..
Unable to load 'eqemu_config.xml': Failed to open file
[Debug] [WORLD_INIT_ERR] Loading server configuration failed.

I could not find anything on the forums relating to that error. I have the config file in the same directory as World.exe. I don't know what else the problem could be.

The problem with servers are there are so many possible problems that can arise. Even following the best tutorials you can still encounter problems.
I noticed you are using 127.0.0.1 as your IP. If you are on a lan I'd use your lan IP. When you use 127.0.0.1 just presents a host of problems (my personal experience anyway)
Worldserver is failing to connect more then likely your problem is in your eqemu_config file, can you post it please if we can have a look at that we might be able to assist you better. Naturally leave out your passwords :)

Its assuming 127.0.0.1 because it can't read the eqemu_config.xml, so either that file doesn't exist or is in an incorrect format.

Here is eqemu_config.xml

Also you may want to change this

<defaultstatus>20</defaultstatus>

to

<defaultstatus>0</defaultstatus>

or all your new players will have guide status.

The amendments to my config file have to been made. Although the error is still inhabiting.
